If you’re just as big Disney fans as we are, then you’re going to love this news. Disney is releasing not one, but two documentaries on Disney+ soon!

If you ever wanted a romance set on Mount Everest, then Disney’s got you covered. Everest: The Other Side stars real-life mountaneer couple Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson as they climb and ski the first descent of the direct North Face of Everest, the most coveted ski line on earth, in a story of love, loss, and what it takes to chase the impossible dream. Everest: The Other Side will premiere at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival and the 51st Toronto International Film Festival before opening exclusively in theaters and IMAX worldwide on October 30th.

Disney also announced a brand-new feature documentary by Academy Award– and Emmy–nominated filmmaker Leslie Iwerks of Disneyland Handcrafted. In Disney Worldbuilders, Leslie sits down with some of the key figures who have helped shape many of Disney’s most enduring stories. Through personal reflections on their earliest inspirations, pivotal moments along the way, and the formative Disney memories they’ve carried with them over the years, these iconic Disney storytellers share the experiences that have helped shape their creative journeys.

Throughout the documentary, you’ll hear directly from creators behind some of your favorite films, characters, attractions, and more. Disney Worldbuilders doesn’t stop at how these worlds came to be — it goes behind the walls of what’s coming next, offering rare glimpses of new lands, areas, and experiences taking shape, stories still in the making, and a first look at where Disney’s worldbuilding goes from here. If you want to watch it and get a look at Disney behind-the-scenes, it will premiere on Disney+ in August!

The film features candid conversations with some of the most influential creators in entertainment today, but only three of them were included in the teaser trailer. In the full documentary, you can watch full interviews with:

Josh D’Amaro — CEO, The Walt Disney Company
Bob Iger — Former CEO and Senior Advisor, The Walt Disney Company, and incoming Disney Legend
Dave Filoni — President and Chief Creative Officer, Lucasfilm
